4 Add IP Cameras

This chapter mainly introduces how to connect multiple IP cameras through NVR. Once you

finish adding IP cameras, you can see the live images through the monitor of the NVR. Here

we will introduce how to add cameras via WAN/LAN network.

To add IP cameras via LAN:

Step 1: Please Enter into MenuIP Camera tab. Refer to Fig 4-1. Click “Search” button to

search the devices in the same local network.

Fig 4-1 Device Management

Step 2: Enter into the search tab. Click “Refresh” to refresh the searched devices. You can

modify the IP address of the searched device by checking the device and clicking “Setup”

button.

Fig 4-2 Search Devices

Note: If the network of IP cameras and NVR are in LAN, their IP address must be in the

same network segment. For example: If the IP address of NVR is 192.168.013.057, the

IP address of IP camera must be 192.168.013.XXX.

Step 3: Choose the searched devices and click “OK” button to add these devices. The added

cameras will be listed in the device management interface.

Step 4: Choose the camera device and click “Setup” button to enable the camera. Refer to Fig

4-3. Check the “Enable” checkbox, select channel and input the username and password of

this device. Then click “OK” to save settings.

Fig 4-3 Add Device

To add IP cameras via WAN:

Step 1: Please enter MenuIP Camera tab. Refer to Fig 4-1.

Step 2: Click “Add” button to pop up a window similar to Fig 4-3. You need to check

“Enable” box, select channel, manufacturer and product model and manually input IP address,

server port, username and password of this device.

Note: If the NVR and the IP cameras you want to add are in WAN, the IP address of the

IP camera input here must be WAN IP. You should forward the LAN IP address and port

of the IP camera in the router and use its WAN IP address, provided that the IP camera

is in local area network, otherwise, the NVR cannot connect this IP camera.
